that the secretary's dispatch
had been given TO the public.
He forwarded telegram TO Washington

WOMEN IN RUSSIA.
The Bent of Russian Thought Towards the
Emancipation Of Women.

Emancipation Of women.
The radical bent Of the Russian
mind, or its leaning toward new and
bold ideas, is shown in other ways than
In the nihilism Of the young students
and the ignorant religious sects among
the common people. One example Of
this, borrowed from the last ten or fif-
teen years, is the movement for the
emancipation, or rather the freedom,
of women. The Russians do net like
to use the word emancipation in
this regard; they like to say that among
them woman is emancipated, because
the law leaves to her at marriage the
administration OF her own fortune. So
they generally speak in Russia Of the
''woman question.
The excuses by which il has been
compromised, do not prevent this
movement of female emancipation from
being one Of the most interesting and
characteristic phenomena Of Russian
society Of to-day. In this respect,
Russia is, Of all the States of the
continent, that which comes nearest to
the Anglo-Saxon countries, although,
in the two cases, claims which are quite
alike at the bottom are shown under
aspects very different. II any revolu-
tion should take place hereafter in
laws or social customs. Russia will
be, without doubt, one Of the first
countries Of the old continent to at
tempth Meanwhile she has already
made experiments in the higher educa-
ton of women. some of which might
serve as a model to States which think
themselves much furthur advanced. -
